I went in-game for a few minutes this evening. My vision is still very blurry, but I was able to see the upgrades others have added to Terra Nova and simply said, they are beautiful and more amazing than I realized from the screenshots. Thank you to all who have contributed to Terra Nova! It truly fills me with joy to see others making such wonderful additions to Terra Nova.

“grow”:… well… I removed some main parts of terra nova. the growth will follow, sure. But honestly this via (we need a nice latin name like via sacra, via appia,…) looks so naked and dull without vegetation, buildings and landscape.

Your garden is quite nice but you should consider only to cultivate what the romans had: no corn, no cotton, no potatoes, no tomatoes, no pumpkins.
And your bee hives are quite useless. They need flowers around to produce honey.

@dotti: Thanks for the input. I’ll make some adjustments. but approximate historical accuracy is not my only objective. It is also a public garden for new players, but I can definitely replace the corn and pumpkins, and I’ll do some research what to do with the rest. I guess the coffee has to go. It looks like watermelons were loved by much of the ancient world, so I will expand watermelon garden. I’ll post a sign that this is a research garden experimenting with imported exotic Indian and Egyptian cotton.

I put the beehives up without really thinking about it, I’ve never done much with bees, but I’ll move them to an area with flowers. Thank you for your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.
